I've been approached with a decent offer to buy this 1926-S Peace dollar. Obviously it is not graded, the owner said he talked to his local Coin Shop from which he purchased it from and was validated that it is indeed a naturally toned coin. Looking to get some other opinions, please. Any thoughts? Thank you  |

 . Pic of reverse? I don't know if it is NT or environmental toning. Lacks eye appeal though, IMHO. John1  |

It appears to be AT. I would not pay a premium for the coin. The first thing that would get me off of NT is around the number 6 as it looks like a liquid pour.

May have spent some time in an older, occasionally moist coin folder, What does the reverse look like?

Sorry about that, I uploaded the Obverse twice by accident. Here is the reverse. Thank you all for your opinions! Much appreciation.  |

Looks like AT to me, but either way, not particularly attractive.

Artificial Toning and I'm not a fan at all

Naturally toned coins never show the identical toning patterns on both sides. This is clearly altered.  |

If they are that confident it is NT...make a deal that they send it out to be graded and if it straight grades you'll buy it.

With the reverse image now posted, I'm leaning toward toning deliberately induced by someone. I have a small collection of Morgans and Peace dollars where the toning is suspect--I accept them for what they are and enjoy 'em. I'd add this example for sure. |

I once used my uncle's acetylene torch to light off bottle rockets by the hundreds. This coin made me think of that night. Not good.
